Eagle Island State Park

PARK UPDATE:

June 28, 2024 Construction Update:

The main entrance reopened at noon on Friday after some roadside trench work, and the entrance now will remain open through July 7th.

On the morning of July 8th, the main entrance will close for the installation of a new water line and subsequent paving. Visitors can expect to use the secondary entrance off Hatchery/Linder roads until early October, when the main entrance should reopen permanently, and the Hatchery entrance will close.

Attention Park Visitors: Please adhere to trail closure signs during the construction process. The shop road/horse trailer access road is currently closed but will reopen when it is safe to do so. We ask that horse trailers please use our overflow gravel parking lot for the time being!

Note: The completed campground will not impact trail areas, this is only temporary while work is being done. Thank you!

The park’s water slide will remain closed and is scheduled to be removed later this year. Originally constructed in 1983, it has been idle since 2023 due to equipment failures, which now make it unsafe to operate. Fixing the equipment will cost too much to be feasible, given the age of the structure.

Park management is evaluating alternative uses for the space once the waterslide is removed.

Historic Building Renovations:

The park will also be working on historic building renovations. Please be mindful of workers in the area.

Eagle Island State Park in mid-2022 enacted a new policy regarding dogs off-leash and has designated an area and trails that are open to off-leash dogs that are under the demonstrated control of their owners. Click here for details.
